Chapter 7: The Wedding

last update Last Updated: 2022-05-13 15:45:14

The man did not doubt Calantha’s silence. He thought Calantha was in suspense for her and Asher’s imminent wedding. From his point of view, the relationship between Selena and Asher had always been very good, they both were in love and looking forward to their wedding.

But if Selena married the man she loved, she would be happier and more excited than anyone.

Layla rushed over shortly after, she politely bowed to him and lowered her voice to inform him of something, he smiled delicately and left.

“Layla, who is he?” Calantha asked curiously.

“He’s Lady Selena’s father, Mr. Anderson,” Layla answered. “He came here to persuade you to allow him to walk down the aisle with you.”

“But, what? Why would he do that? He’s Lady Selena’s father, right?” Calantha asked in surprise.

“Yes, but he only sees Lady Selena as a tool at the service of his success. And he has hurt her so many times. For Lady Selena, he was the one who gave her life, not her father. Lord Pittman knows this, and he wants to please Lady Selena by treating Mr. Anderson coldly,” Layla replied.

Calantha was curious about what Mr. Anderson had done. But it was all Lady Selena’s personal affair, it was rude of her to figure it out.

“So I’m going to walk down the aisle with him?” Calantha asked.

“No, he won’t appear at this wedding, it was Lady Selena’s command. Plus, it would be easier for you to escape at the wedding if Mr. Anderson wasn’t there. Because he hired the guards for the wedding ceremony and they just took his orders.” Layla spoke earnestly, and she left the room soon after.

Calantha continued to do what she needed to do.

Mr. Anderson entered his personal room, pleased to have been assured that he would walk down the aisle with his daughter Selena. And then, the distinguished guests there would see him and know that he was the father of Lord Pittman’s wife. And then, big business contracts would come to him.

Mr. Anderson had never felt so pleased with his daughter.

As he was enjoying his coffee and thinking of the good things he would get in the future, Layla came and informed him that Selena had ordered a high-end watch and expected him to come to the store and get them.

“Why must I do the work?” Mr. Anderson asked unhappily. He did not like to have to work at anyone’s request.

“Lady Selena reserved for Lord Pittman. What could be better if you were the one who would give it to him directly? I’ll let the driver take you to the store.” Layla said humbly.

Mr. Anderson was no longer angry, excited to do what Layla said without any doubt. He was the clearest about Lord Pittman’s love for Selena. And he believed that with that high-end watch, Mr. Pittman would be pleased with him.

After Mr. Anderson left, Layla reported to Selena. Selena and John drove to the airport. Soon after, Calantha also had to enter the ceremony.

The wedding dress was bulky, Calantha was not used to wearing high heels, she had to be careful every step of the way.

Asher Pittman stood there with the priest. Calantha was eager to think of Asher picking up the veil and realizing she wasn’t Selena.

What would he do?

Would he immediately scold her and leave, leaving her alone, and she would have to face the scorn from guests like in her nightmares?

Whether he let Calantha leave when he found out that they had tricked him?

Her legs trembled. And Calantha felt she could fall at any moment thinking about what she was about to face.

“You need money. You did this because you need money to treat Gael and keep him going to an excellent school,” Calantha encouraged herself.

But the words of encouragement worked only temporarily, when Calantha took Asher’s hand and heard the priest, she could not look at Asher’s sharp eyes.

The priest said:

“Asher, do you take Selena to be your wife? Do you promise to be faithful to her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and to honor her all the days of your life?”

Asher’s low voice sounded.

“I do.”

The priest said:

“Selena, do you take Asher to be your husband? Do you promise to be faithful to her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and to honor her all the days of your life?”

Calantha tried to make her voice as similar to Selena’s as possible.

“I do,” Calantha said absurdly.

After answering, Calantha secretly assessed Asher’s face and panicked when she realized the suspicion had replaced the cheerfulness. But the bad things Calantha thought of didn’t happen.

Until they exchange wedding rings, the noises come from outside the ceremony. From a distance, Calantha could see Mr. Anderson trying to run into the ceremony.

Layla was still sitting in the front row without stopping him, Calantha understood that Selena and John had successfully escaped.

“Mr. Pittman, Mr. Pittman.” Mr. Anderson called Asher from outside the aisle repeatedly.

His loud and hoarse voice disturbed Asher. He thought Mr. Anderson wanted to break up his wedding ceremony. Before the wedding, he had already offered to escort Selena, but Asher let Selena decide. And the truth was she didn’t want to be escorted by him. He chosed to ruin their wedding ceremony because he couldn’t do what he wanted.

Asher suppressed his anger, he didn’t want to break the ceremony. Asher rubbed Calantha's hand to comfort her from the noise that shouldn't have been in this wedding ceremony.

Mr. Anderson was trying to barge in and inform Asher that Selena had escaped. But Asher’s personal bodyguards stopped him. He found this out when he realized the suspicion of the driver’s behaviour. He took Mr. Anderson to a deserted place, and held him there. When Mr. Anderson got a phone call from a close friend, he talked about catching Selena with John in a taxi. Mr. Anderson just found out Selena was planning to escape.

Asher and Calantha held hands and came back down the aisle and exited the house of worship in everyone’s blessing, and Calantha also began working on her escape plan.

    The driver was waiting outside, Asher and Calantha entered the car, and the driver immediately took them to Asher’s private mansion, Rosé. As soon as the car rolled, Asher rushed toward Calantha, wanting to kiss her. Calantha panicked, pushing him out instinctively. “What’s the matter, are you afraid? Don’t worry, the driver can’t know what we’re doing right now,” Asher said in a charming low voice, pointing toward the glass that separated the two rows of seats in the car. Calantha said nothing, she turned away from Asher’s gaze. He felt ‘Selena‘ out of the ordinary, but only thought she was shy. Selena has always avoided being intimate with him in a crowded place. At first, Asher wasn’t happy about Selena’s attitude. She had to explain to him she would only be intimate with her husband. Gradually, Asher got used to it. But that did not mean he did not feel insecure. He wondered many times if Selena loved him or not, or if it was all because of their childhood engagement? But fo

    Calantha didn’t think she’d be so easily spotted, because things were always going to work out for her. Asher no longer had patience with her. He squeezed her chin, forcing her to look into the eyes of his, “Don’t let me repeat it a second time. Where’s Selena?” The powerful gaze of the one who wields potent power made Calantha felt it would kill her. Fear forced Calantha to say what he wanted to hear. “No, wake up, Calantha, you can’t fall,” Reason tried to stop her from doing her stupid trading betrayal. “I don’t know,” she said. Asher frowned, laughing sarcastically. He asked, “How much money did Selena give you? Tell me, I’ll pay you three times.” It was a great proposition, but it’s also a contemptuous saying. Calantha knew that Asher thought she was a grabber, he wanted to use the money to solve this problem. But if she said so, she would have to accept a greater consequence than she could get. Selena would avenge her. Asher loved Selena very much, so he won’t protect h

    Although Calantha’s feelings were eroded by the days Asher locked her in his room, the transaction Asher offered surprised her. Calantha read what was stated in the transaction. The content of this transaction was that she must pretend to be Selena, becoming Lady Pittman until Asher found the real Selena. Asher would pay her with money. She realized that all the terms of this transaction were to Asher’s advantage. Asher had the right to control her everything until this transaction was no longer valid. And Calantha could not have any rights but money, a lot of money. But she could only get that money when Selena came back. It was an unfair transaction for her. “I will not sign this transaction,” Calantha said. “Give me a good reason,” Asher said. He looked at Calantha with an angry look. “This contract is not fair to me. Except for money, I don’t have any rights. Even if you find Selena, I can only get the money you’ll pay me.

    Calantha’s POV That evening, I received a copy of the transaction from the butler. I could have asked him to make a copy of the transaction for me as soon as he asked his assistant to compose a new copy of the transaction. But I did not. Because I took a test on him. I wanted to check if Asher was a reliable partner. Asher kept his promise, so I could trust him to complete the transaction without making it a worthless trade. I put the transaction in a safe place and suddenly missed Gael. I had been taking care of him ever since he was born. We have lived together for more than 10 years, a strong connection created by trust and love has made us the only and most important relatives of each other, even if we are half-sisters. I wondered what Gael was doing at that moment. Maybe he was learning, he was working hard. I thought about how to escape from Asher’s mansion, but I immediately rejected all options on my own. Unless I got help from someone else, I could never get out of thi

Asher sat down on the sofa, he was tired. The butler brought him a cup of coffee as usual. “Where is she?” Asher asked. “Miss Ellis is sleeping in her bedroom?” The butler answered. Asher looked outside. The sun had risen. Asher stroked his hair like a habit, leaning against the sofa, closing his eyes. He said, “Didn’t I ask her to always get up at dawn?” The butler said, “That’s right, sir. But Miss Ellis did well, and she could fulfill almost every teacher’s request. So they set her up with a more comfortable timetable for a few days before they taught her to dance.” “She’s not as easy to bully as I thought,” Asher said, gritting his teeth. “Since she was a child, she has had to do many works for a living,” the butler explained. Calantha’s effort and rapid adaptation amazed the butler. “I see.” When Calantha wa

    “Is that why I have to listen to you?

He said, “Of course, listen to my every request, because you’re mine. Calantha, as soon as you signed that transaction, you were mine.”“It’s all temporary,” Calantha countered.“Oh, so after Selena returns, do you think you can still live in this upper-class society?” Asher said. “Best of all, don’t think or care about anyone in this elite, just focus on me. And don’t let me find out you’ve been in stealthy contact with anyone, or I won’t take revenge on you. I know, Calantha, you’re st

    The sound of the door opening woke me up. The softness of the bed made me unwilling to sit up.“It’s time to go home,” Asher’s cold voice sounded, and I immediately sat up, saw Asher standing and leaning back against the door. His bright brown hair was a little messy, his vest was gone, two buttons of his shirt were undone. He was looking at me.“What about the ball?” That was what I thought of first when I saw him.“It’s over,” Asher announced.“No way,” I looked at Asher with amazement, soon after, anger invaded me. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”I stood up but immediately shouted because of the pain in my ankle. I fell to my bed, bit my lips and closed my eyes tightly, enduring the pain.“You can’t dance with me anyway when you can’t stand up,” Asher said sarcastically.I frowned, “What about you? What did you do?”Asher shrugged, “Dance with another girl.”I said, “So, your mother, did she see you dancing with another girl?” It was my only worry; I didn’t want to displease Bertha; sh

    “Don’t worry, I asked the doctor to come right away,” Bertha said and sat down next to me. Her arrival reassured me. “Thank you,” I said. ”Asher re-aligned my joint.” “What?” Bertha looked at me in surprise and then looked at Asher. “Asher, you should let the doctor do it.” Asher shrugged, “I can do it professionally. Why do I need to wait for a doctor?” I heard Bertha’s sigh, and she said, “Selena is just a lady, she needs to be treated gently.” “Oh,” Asher gave me an ironic look and a smirk. “My mistake, I’m sorry.” When the doctors arrived, Bertha immediately asked them to check my ankles. She watched my entire inspection. My gaze could not leave her. Of course, Bertha recognized my gaze, too, and she answered me with a gentle smile. For the first time in my life, there was a woman who treated me like that. I suddenly remembered my mother, wondering where she was all this time. Would she remember me and Gael? And my father- “Oh my God, our talented doctors told me your situ

She didn’t call me Lady Pittman, even though the members of this family all attended Asher and Selena’s wedding.Apparently, Selena wasn’t very popular with her family.I wondered what I should do, answer ironically or keep silent.“Selena, this is Vivi, Asher’s cousin. A smart and active girl,” Mary said in a pale, idle voice.She would lull people to sleep if she would read a speech with that accent.“Nice to meet you, Vivi,” I smiled elegantly and properly.“Mary, just Vivi? don’t forget me
